About this project
This project will consist of keying records relating to the awarding of Citizenship for the city of Lübeck, Germany. We will be keying the name and the citizenship award date, and on later records birth date and birth place information.

Brevigraphs, ligatures and abbreviations are commonly used in this collection. Here are the commonly used "symbols" and what they mean.

Project Instructions

Early records might only contain a year at the top of the page, the name of the citizen, and the name of two witnesses, joined by a bracket. Later records might be on pre-printed forms or written out in paragraph form. In all cases key the name of the new citizen. Do not key the names of witnesses.
